Hi All. Just had an interesting experience driving my SS1 Turbo.
When braking the car suddenly violently veered to the right with some strange graunching noises from the front n/s.
I tried to limp home but in the end called out RH recovery.
Getting home I started to investigate what had happened. On removing the front l/h wheel it was soon obvious that the brake disc was no longer connected to the hub/wheel. All 4 Hex sockets bolts were missing! So application of the brake stopped the disc rotating but as it was not connected to the wheel the car swerved right.
I pulled off the hub and as you can see in the attached pic the bolt holes in the disc are oval, the worse one being presumably the last to let go.
Just wondered if this has happened to anyone before?
I'm now on the look out for a couple of new discs. Euro car parts seem to stock them but I'll need to check the sizes accurately.

ECP (and just about every other generic car parts emporium) will sell you ones from a Metro, Maestro or MGF and claim you must have the wrong ones on your car because that’s what their catalogue says (which is wrong).

When uploading a picture, wait until the “Add Inline” button appears - that means it’s uploaded. Depending on the file size, connection speed etc it can take a few (sometimes many) seconds to upload it fully.
